This kid was dressed thickly. Judging from the material of the clothes, he obviously came from a wealthy family. When he saw a large group of people outside, he was stunned for a moment.
"Whose child is this and why is he in the Naval Academy?" Zhong Jinwei couldn't help but ask.
Why do you say that this naval academy is also a military academy and a forbidden area for ordinary people? How can there be children?
"Baby, I told you not to be naughty, but you still come here." A voice sounded from behind Zhong Jinwei, lecturing the child.
Then the man immediately turned to Zhong Jinwei and explained awkwardly: "Master Hou, he is the son of the last general. He just came back from Japan and doesn't understand the rules."
Zhong Jinwei knew it was Zheng Zhilong from the voice. As soon as he came to speak, he couldn't help but smile in his heart when he saw his slightly frightened look.
He is not a rigid, dogmatic, mean and serious person. Moreover, there is a little naughty person in the family who is disobedient all day long and runs around just after learning to walk. As a father, he can understand.
When other people from the naval academy accompanying him saw this situation, they didn't know the temper of Marquis Zhongxing, so they were secretly worried for Zheng Zhilong.
Yan Yingyuan spoke first and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Hou, it's just a cultural class now, the child..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhong Jinwei interrupted him with a wave of his hand. Then he said to Zheng Zhilong: "Just came back from Japan? Then he is your eldest son, is his name Zheng Chenggong?"
He remembered Zheng Zhilong's two sons. The eldest son was named Zheng Chenggong, and the second son had a Japanese name and stayed in Japan. In fact, Zheng Zhilong had more than two sons in total, and there were no traces of the others, so Zhong Jinwei didn't know about them.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhilong was a little surprised, then shook his head and said: "Master Hou, this boy is the eldest son of the last general, but he is not called success, but his name is named "sen".
He was considered a man, and an idea came to his mind. He immediately turned to look at his son, and found that he was still standing there, watching them curiously. He quickly shouted: "Come here, the Marquis has changed your name to a good one."
, come here quickly to thank you!”
Zhong Jinwei was speechless as he listened. This Zheng Zhilong really followed the stick. When he did this, even if he originally wanted to punish him, it would be difficult to punish him. And just like that, his son was invisibly connected with him.
Relationship. As long as he does not fail in the Ming Dynasty officialdom, his son will always benefit, whether it is direct or indirect benefits.
But Zhong Jinwei doesn't care about this. He is sure that Zheng Zhilong's eldest son is Zheng Chenggong. Maybe the name was changed later. Now because of his own reasons, he appeared in advance.
He didn't know that if it hadn't been for this, the name Zheng Chenggong would never have appeared. Because Emperor Longwu changed the name Chenggong to him and also gave him the surname Zhu.
Others, including Yan Yingyuan, secretly admired Zheng Zhilong. He was indeed a man who broke out in the mighty waves of the river. He responded so quickly, not only resolving possible troubles, but also reaping benefits.
Zheng Chenggong was scolded twice by his father, but he didn't care at all. But this time he obeyed his father's words, ran over to Zhong Jinwei, and said in a childish voice: "Thank you, uncle."
When people around me heard this, they couldn't help but be speechless. Why should I call you uncle?
Zheng Zhilong was also a little worried, fearing that Zhong Jinwei would be unhappy. As soon as he reached out his hand, he was ready to slap Zheng Chenggong on the back of the head to teach him a lesson.
As a result, Zhong Jinwei had already responded, and he smiled and said: "Be good!"
Then he turned to Zheng Zhilong and said, "I like your child very much and plan to adopt him as my nephew. Do you agree?"
Zhong Jinwei went out of his way to make all historical celebrities his nephews.
When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and wished he could immediately press his son's head and kowtow to Zhong Jinwei. How could he disagree with Zhong Jinwei's request?
You must know that this way, he will have a huge backer in the court, and he will no longer have to worry about his past affairs.
"Quickly, kneel down to your uncle." Zheng Zhilong couldn't restrain his joy and urged his son repeatedly.
Zheng Chenggong had never seen his father so happy. At the same time, he felt that Zhong Jinwei was also an amiable person, and he had a good impression of him. Therefore, under his father's orders, he knelt down and kowtowed to Zhong Jinwei.
Zhong Jinwei knew that etiquette was still required, so after he finished kowtowing, he took his hand and walked into the lobby.
Everyone else followed Zhong Jinwei, silently clasping their fists to congratulate Zheng Zhilong, and at the same time secretly regretted why their children did not come to the Naval Academy. Naturally, they did not know that the reason why Zhong Jinwei accepted Zheng Chenggong as his nephew was because his name was Zheng Chenggong.
.
Zheng Zhilong saw that it was a foregone conclusion that his son would become Marquis Zhongxing's nephew. His old face, exposed to the wind and sun on the sea, smiled like a flower.
Everyone ignored why Zhong Jinwei asked why Zheng Zhilong's eldest son was named Zheng Chenggong.
After Zhong Jinwei sat down in the lobby, he kindly asked Zheng Chenggong, who was standing obediently in front of him: "It's such a cold day, why did you come to the Naval Academy to play if you didn't stay at home?"
Zheng Chenggong felt Zhong Jinwei's kindness to him. Children can tell through intuition whether a person is good or bad to him. Therefore, he answered Zhong Jinwei truthfully: "I lived by the sea when I was a child. I like the sea. I also like it."
I like boats. When I grow up, I will definitely be better than my father!"
Listening to Zheng Chenggong's ambition, Zhong Jinwei nodded with satisfaction. He raised his head and said to Zheng Zhilong who was standing aside: "Yes, we must train your son well and train a commander who can control the oceans for the Ming Navy!"
Zheng Zhilong grinned from ear to ear happily. Others may not care about the naval commander, but Zheng Zhilong has participated in the discussions at the Wenhua Palace and was born in the sea. He knows that the naval commander of the Ming Dynasty in the future will be far from the high position that people today can imagine.
Weight. From now on, the focus of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be towards the Navy. He has no doubt about this.
Therefore, as soon as Zhong Jinwei said this, he quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, Lord Marquis, I will definitely teach you carefully and live up to Lord Marquis's high expectations."
Zhong Jinwei chatted for a while and planned to return to the military camp. But at this time, Zheng Zhilong thought that Zheng Chenggong had recognized his uncle's affairs and strongly invited Zhong Jinwei to visit his home.
Zhong Jinwei thought that he was fine now, so he agreed. Others followed suit and went to Zheng Zhilong's house together.
Zheng Zhilong's house is right next to the Naval Academy. Everything in the house is newly built. The Zheng family has money and the building is relatively spacious, so it can accommodate so many people.
At Zheng Zhilong's house, Zhong Jinwei also met his Japanese wife, Tagawa, who was about thirty years old. She was similar to Zhong Jinwei's impression of Japanese women, gentle and virtuous.
Zhong Jinwei respected the Tagawa family more than Zheng Zhilong. Because he knew that the Tagawa family did not follow Zheng Zhilong in surrendering to the Manchus in history, but committed seppuku to show loyalty and filial piety. One of the reasons why Zheng Chenggong fought with the Manchus to the death.
, it is said that there is also a reason to avenge his mother.
Such a woman, no matter she is Japanese or Ming Dynasty, is worthy of respect.
